The history of the Pina Colada is unclear, however, the earliest known history states that in the 1800s, Puerto Rican pirate Roberto Cofresí (a.k.a. "El Pirata Cofresí"), to boost his crew's morale he gave them a beverage or cocktail that contained coconut, pineapple and white rum. This was what would be later known as the famous pina colada. With his death in 1825, the recipe for the pina colada was lost. Read More About the History. Check out this recipe.
